Amazing! World's oldest postcard sold around £31,000

Pioneer Era, 1870-1898

That's the name of the first postcard printed on America with pictures on it. These were the first postcards to have illustrated messages like this one has. Back on those days this type of cards were not commercially produced. They were called "pioneers". This old postcard was sold on London for a record amount of £31,750. According to postal historian Edward Proud this amount is a record for a postcard.

It caricatures the postal service by showing post office "scribes" sitting around an enormous inkwell.

A postcard, compared to many other forms of advertisement like brochures or flyers, is very easy to design. The space it has lets you transmit a nice and direct message to the persons that looks at it.

Postcards are also very economical because you don’t need to send them with an envelope. The postage is very cheap and the best part about not sending an envelope is that they will be in full view and less likely to be disregarded with junk mail. Your design really comes to matter in this moment so you really need to have a good print with vivid colors. You need to think of a way to draw attention and since they are so economical you will have the time to see what works the best with your customers.
